Only hours away....

HAL is mere hours away from passing the 200,000 mile mark. Should happen within the next couple of days...depending on how much driving we do on my weekend off. Looking forward to seeing that odometer turn over...and seeing us on our way to 225,000 and 250,000.

A Little Closer Each DAy

Well...two posts in two days. Yesterday's post was a test of the android app for blogging... so yeah, that test was pretty successful. If I had 3G coverage where I'm at now, I'd be blogging from my phone again.

Anyhoo...198,500 today on the way to work as you can see above. I should hit 199,000 probably on the way home from work on Tuesday or on the way to work Wednesday.

Some HAL Stats to tide us stat geeks over until the 200,000 update...

2011 Trips to the gas station for full tanks of gas: 48
# of Trips to the gas station April 2003 - December 2004: 56
Miles Per Gallon 2011 so far: 29.10 (+0.33 mpg over 2010)

Here's a little scatter plot of HAL's MPG over the years.

Closing in...

HAL and I have been a bit busy lately....since crossing 195,000, Hal and I have taken one trip to Michigan and a couple hundred extra miles for work....but we've been averaging over 32+ mpg for most of the last month.

I've taken to snapping quick pics of rhe odometer....so I attached two of them for fun.

200,000 should come within the next two weeks...or so.   Stay tuned :-)

195,000 Miles: Up next the Big 200

HAL has finally made it to the final 5,000 miles before 200,000. Well, almost. HAL will cross the 195,000 mile mark just after midnight tonight. The race to 200,000 is almost complete. And then, the count for 250,000 will begin :)

So far in 2011 - Am averaging $3.31/gallon and 28.87 miles per gallon.

The total miles per gallon for the life of HAL: 27.16 (+.02 mpg from 193,000)
